[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,480,bTable] | [atrb=style,background-color:#11053F; border-radius: 35px;]Mai & Hyokomon Normal Tamer | Crest of Love Mai didn’t really like the beach in real life. They were mostly filled with uncovered bodies – people were so unabashed, maybe even proud of their perfect bodies. It was inconceivable to Mai. However, here, it was different. The beach was full of avatars and every one of them was perfect; there was no reason to feel inferior. He looked at himself, and wondered if he would dare to unclothe himself here, to feel the sun, wind and sea. Clutching at the front of his shirt, he realized that even here, it was not something he would do.
He strolled along the beach, holding onto his shoes as he let his toes feel the warm sand. It had been ages since he came to a beach. Hyokomon bounced beside him, counting the steps he took under his breath. It had been his mission to count how long the beach was; and they had been walking from one end to the other. They were coming close to the end and Hyokomon’s voice started to grow more excited. Mai smiled to himself, just thinking how lucky he was to have a partner like Hyokomon. They weren’t exactly similar, but they seemed to make each other happy. At least, Mai hoped he made Hyokomon happy.
As happy as a piece of programming could be.
Mai tried to shake the thought out of his head. He felt guilty sometimes when thoughts like this came to his mind. Hyokomon was still absorbed in his counting, not noticing how Mai was sadly looking at him. The boy then breathed in the salty air and looked around. There weren’t many people in the game at this moment. Their handles popped all over his vision and Mai waved them away before spotting a name that seemed familiar.
“Aoi?” He muttered to himself; and without thinking, like a magnet to metal, he ran towards the avatar that held that name. Stopping abruptly at the person, Mai said, “Aoi? Is that you?” before remembering that almost anyone could own this name here – what were the chances that Aoi would really have a character here with the same name? He looked at the person he just startled and realized that Aoi would not have chosen such an avatar. Immediately blushing, Mai looked at his left and muttered, “I’m so sorry. I thought… I thought you were someone else.”
Hyokomon came running behind. “Oi, Mai! What made you run off? I lost count, we have to start all over,” he rambled before noticing the person that Mai was speaking to. He had a cute little Digimon with him. Hyokomon broke into a huge grin and said, “Hi there! I’m Hyokomon and this is Mai. It’s nice to meet you.” Mai’s eyes were still averted, obviously still embarrassed about what he had done. It was reckless, and he usually wasn’t like that. |
